Inventory Requirements When a Drug is Scheduled in Kansas

Inventory Requirements When a Drug Is

Scheduled


Tramadol became a federally controlled Schedule IV drug beginning



August 18, 2014. Pursuant to 21 CFR §1304.11, a pharmacy

is required to take an inventory of any CS that is added to the list

on the effective date of the rule. Thereafter, the substance needs

to be included in each inventory made by the registrant.

Kansas requires an annual inventory of CS. Each inventory of

Schedule II CS and all products containing hydrocodone require

an exact count. Make sure you designate on the inventory whether

it was taken at the beginning or close of business.

The Kansas State Board of Pharmacy has taken steps to have

tramadol removed from the Kansas Tracking and Reporting of

Controlled Substances (K-TRACS) drugs of concern regulation.

Tramadol will need to be reported to K-TRACS now that it has

been federally scheduled.
